The Chicago Tribune reports the Bears have one last business matter with a veteran player, KR/WR Devin Hester. The most electrifying return man in the NFL agreed to a new deal last week—with Under Armour, that is. While his endorsements continue to stack up, Hester wants his money from the Bears to do the same. He is signed through 2009 and it is unclear how much the Bears are willing to offer him, with no other contract to measure his worth against. Hester wants to get paid receiver money, but the Bears are more inclined to make him the highest-paid special-team player. Hester's agent, Eugene Parker, could not be reached for comment Monday night. In terms of his client's desire for a new deal, Parker believes Hester's explosive play has spoken loudly.
